Marvel has released a first look at "Uncanny X-Men" #13 -- the eighth chapter of "Battle of the Atom" -- that shows Quentin Quire empowered by the mighty force of the Phoenix. The issue hits stores October 16.

ROBOT 6's Chris Arrant spoke with "Uncanny X-Men" artist Chris Bachalo about his early days at Vertigo, his youthful aversion of X-Men comics and how experimental artists like Dave McKean influenced his work.

Despite reports stating otherwise, artist Chris Bachalo remains in place as "Uncanny X-Men" penciler for issue #4, and CBR has an exclusive first look at his take on Magik's return to the Jean Grey School.
